LONDON, July l3 The government has Sc
cured the attendance OF a mechanical ma iori-
" for the division on the land bill, which will
take place on Thursday. That there is great
diversity of opinion as to the merits of the
bill may be gathered from the fact that the
government whips sent out to urge full at
tendance of its supporters promise large
number and great variety of amendments to
the measure. The bankruptcy clauses of the
bill will be abandoned in the committee
stage and an amendment introduced giving
to county court judges power to revise the
judicial rents In Difference to the wishes OF
the Liberal Unionists and certain Conserva-
tiyes in the house Of lords the bill was sub
jected to wholesale amendments and to salts
fly others of these parties i'll the house of com
mons, as well as to mollify the opposition of
the Parnellites, the measure will be so much
more amended and reconstructed as to retain
few of its original features in the act finally

We had a nice shower last Sunday
eve and south of here, one and half
miles, there was very destructive
hail, almost demolishing Jas. Dun
gan'S aud other crops. Some fields
of cotton are said to be almost entirely
ruined.
Farmers are busy working their
crops and consequently trade is very
quiet. Cotton and corn are looking
splendid.
The berry season is over and most
all returns are in. The yield was not
80 large as last year, bat prices being
much better they made as much as
they did last year. The goose plum
crop seems to he very promising
around Gibson.
The citizens of the eighteenth dis
trict are to have grand temperance
rally here to-day. We hope all who
favor prohibition will come out and
help in this grand work.

Strawberry Culture.


The conditions necessary to get all
abundance of fruit with little trouble,
are: Unshaded, rich, deep, mellow
soil, free from grass, sorrel, and other
like propagating roots. If the plants
are set out in the spring they will be
in full bearing the next year. Set
them in line about foot apart. The
rows should be four feet apart. Have
the paths a few inches higher than the
centre of the row, to incline the show
ers toward the plants. Keep the
plants free from weeds till the plants
multiply and cover a width of about
fifteen inches. Most of the weeds
will then be crowded out. Keep both
weeds and plants out of the paths
Push runners back, letting them run
over plants that have taken root. In
winter they die and help 10 protect
those that have rooted from the inju
ry of frequent freezing and thawing.
Before heavy frosts set in cover
still further with leaves, fine seedless
hay, or chopped straw. In spring
remove 50 much of this covering as
has not settled between the plants.
After the plants are tOughened by
exposure to the sun and air it will in.
crease thesize and amount of fruit if
the small add less stocky plants are
pulled out; bat Ttair supply OF fruit
can be obtained without even this
trouble. Ii the paths are mulched
with leaves, fue hay, or straw the
plants will better stand drOutL. The
mulch will also keep down the weeds,
and If extended under the edge of the
rows, will keep the fruit eleau.
Poultry must not be allowed to lie
trude. A short pole with an old coat
and hat hung upon it, just before the
ripening OF the fruit, will keep the
birds away.
After the fruit is gathered, early in
July, remove mulch from the paths.
Save this for covering plants IN the
fall. Then cut away all the plants
from one side OF each row, thus de>
strOying fully one half of The plants.
Plow deep Or thoroughly spade up this
cleared space, working in plenty Of
well,rOtted manure. Rake of any
old roots liable to catch. Manage
always to keep The paths few inches
higher than the centre Of the rows,
hut the newly prepared side should
meet the old enough higher to allow
for settling. When the runners get
started it is well to turn those inclined
another way toward the new side,
aud in case OF severe drOuth to place
a handful of soil Oh some Of them
near the j6ints to insure enough taking
| root.
lu the second year serve the other
side of The rows in Il similar manner.
Thus the pl.nts may be renewed, sea-
son after season, without loss of
ground or time in setting out new
plants.
This method of culture is recon
mended to those having but little time
to spare, who think raising strawber-
rles mysterious and difficult. Any
farmer or gardener so situated as To
carry out these directions, can, 10y
thus cultivaIing eight or ten rods of
rows raise bushels of This delicious
and Wholesome fruit. lhuse having
more GIme should study the various
other methods, trem each of which
some valuable prints may be gained.
